What TAMITOS is
One heart. Seven ways to live in it.
The series creates the bond. Every other pillar turns it into something a family actually uses, and every sale supports a real family.
Every sale and every kilometre supports a real family. That trust brings more kids in. The wheel spins faster.
Seven friends
Each one carries a feeling kids already know.
The characters were not born at a marketing table. Each one is built on the real experience of neurodivergent children and was created with special educators.
Every episode opens up one emotion kids usually cannot name. Season one is in development, and the scripts are written with special educators, and we are looking for autistic adults to join the writing, so the stories are made with them, not about them.
The first book is in Martinus. The trilogy continues.
A children’s book about autism that explains feelings rather than a diagnosis. Parents read it at bedtime and teachers use it in class. The second book is finished, the third arrives next year.
The app turns a family’s everyday movement into MET points, and those points into real support for families with autistic children. Kids collect characters, parents see the point of it, and the help grows with every step.
Part of what TAMITOS earns, and the donations raised by OZ TAMITOS, help families raising autistic children. Here is how much that has been so far.

Events
One day a year we run for something else.
TAMITOS RUN is not a race. It is the day when the families we otherwise write about in books are simply out there with everyone else, on one course. The second edition is in April 2027.
We did not start with a pitch deck. We started with a daughter who had no words for what she was feeling.
Rastislav and Nina, founders of TAMITOS
Tami is autistic. When we looked for a story that would help her name her big feelings, we could not find one. So we made it, and a whole world grew out of it.
Follow Tamitos, share the stories and help more children find a friend for every big feeling. Sign up to the newsletter, no spam, just kind news.
Questions?
What parents ask most.
What age is TAMITOS for?
The stories are built for children roughly between four and eleven. Younger kids enjoy the characters and the pictures, older ones also grasp what each emotion means.
Is TAMITOS only for autistic children?
No. The characters grew out of the real experience of neurodivergent children, but the feelings they carry are familiar to every child. Siblings and classmates use them to better understand what is going on next to them.
Who works on it professionally?
The content is created with special educators, under expert supervision by NIVAM and in cooperation with the Slovak Union of Special and Inclusive Educators.
Where does the money from sales go?
Part of the proceeds goes straight to families raising autistic children. This year that was 25,000 euros for 20 families, including 6,000 from TAMITOS RUN.
Where can I buy the book?
In our online shop, in Martinus and in Panta Rhei. The second and third parts of the trilogy are on the way.
